Hi, my name is Cheryl Adams, and I'm an interior designer and set decorator for TV and Film in Atlanta, Georgia. The name of my company is Luxe interiors and events. I'm coming to you today, from Horizon Home furniture, also in Atlanta, Georgia. Today, we're going to do something really simple and fun, we're going to show you how to use wine bottles in table decor. And actually it is quite just that simple. We have here today, we have four bottles, generic wine bottles. And what we're going to do, is show you what you can easily do, in the event you have wine bottles at home. You don't have time to go out and get generic wine bottles, but you want to do something cute and simple to go on your table for a nice, little wine party. For our purposes, I've already pre-cut some really, really cute architecturally themed wrapping paper. Wrapping paper, you can use, whatever moves, but in this case, again, we're using something with architectural theme. So, it's not looking very, very cheap for like better work. What we're going to do is, take wine bottle, like one and nicely take it around. We have also ribbon that matches our decor and we have black and gold shimmer. We're going to take this, take it around the bottle. Depending the length you want to cut, in which case for me, I want it to go around twice to give it some visual interest. An what you do is, bring it around and do jut a basic tie. You can either do a traditional bow, as we're doing here for the decor. And we're going to do the same thing for the remaining bottles. And again, just make sure, just for the fact that you want it to look right, you're going to put your bottles, your paper right side up. And again, you can have fun with this, you can put larger pieces of ribbon. in this case, I wanted to use slender, just because I wanted it to be dainty. So that you can pay attention to the architectural detail, that's on our paper. If you were not concerned with the design on the paper, you could very easily do something that was a lot more oops, a lot more wider. You can go up to two to three inches, this is not going through. And again, I'm doing a traditional bow here. And the easy thing about these, is that once you actually get your ribbon done, and everything's tied up. Because these are the same, the same lengths, makes a lot easier if everything's done the same lengths. There's a nice, little surprise at the end and then, we can all say, wino, boys and girls. I can actually go for a nice glass of wine, right about now. And depending on what your length that you have, you can, instead of doing a traditional tie. You can just do it in a nice knot, let it hang, just whatever your personal preference is. And for our last one, we will do the same. Another option that you could do, depending on what kind of time you have, is if you don't want to do them on the exterior. You can also put them in like a message in a bottle style. So, one last for us, we're going to tie this one in a knot as well. So, we'll have two of each, there we go. And what we'll do, is line our table, and that's one thing that I'm really, really a big fan of lining the table, you can do a lot with these. We're going to take our candles here and you can do something really, really fun. and you can continue this with all four candles, or all four wine bottles. And you're going to light it and again, you'll just do all four. And there you have your wine bottle centerpiece.
